| Recipients Under Association Company | Allow associations to act as recipients. |
| Enable on Behalf Of |
Send emails on behalf of the From Address specified; emails will be sent from an instance-specific email address. This is to prevent emails from being blocked. For the DKIM Domain field, this function enables DKIM signatures for emails in order to improve their authenticity. The domain entered needs to match the domain of your SmartSimple server. It is currently limited to the following: smartsimple.ca, smartsimple.com, smartsimple.ie, smartsimple.us. The selector name for any of these will be 'dkim.' For an alternative to this feature, see our built-in SMTP server. |
| Enable Reply-To |
Send emails with Reply-To set to the From Address specified. Toggling on this option will allow you to select from a list of set From Addresses, including the following:
|
| Enable Default From Address |
This email address will be set as the default From email address when composing an email. Toggling on this option will allow you to fill in which email is the default From address. |
